Now I feel guilty about fading out at the end. Fortunately I don't have the time limitations you do. Learning about professional challenges and solutions will help make our videos better. Thanks for doing this.
i already knew this but what I didn't know was the way you achieved it, it's really helpful to see the way you use compound clips to achieve it, workflow is everything in editing, not "knowing how to do everything".
Great video - I’ve been using a very similar process and relying on my late 1980’s dj skills to cut and move the clip to the optimal point to shorten the audio. Never thought of changing the speed of the audio clip to achieve an exact match. Great tip. Most of our work is longer form nature documentary but it usually includes several songs used for different sequences so I have to deal with this several times on each video. Thanks for sharing the step by step of your process.
Thanks sooo much for this video. I downloaded stock music that was perfect for my video with the exception that the song was 8 seconds too short. Using your method I was able to copy and insert an a second audio clip in the first 20 seconds and I can't hear the transition! You rock!
Great job Jen, I’ve been doing this for years, but it’s comforting to see somebody else doing it. I never really have to speed up my music though, I Work with longer form documentaries.
Hello Jenn. May I make a suggestion ? For instance, @4:55, you can see the first three markers on the left bottom corner seem not to match perfectly with the graphic pattern of Beat 1. I always took the precaution to make them match as close as possible to lower the risk of any rhythm disruption. So do I replace the marker at the very beggining of the pattern, and then I can go on with shortening or increasing the length of the audio line. I've turned to this method since I appreciate to match the transitions of the video line with any of Beat 1, 2, 3 or 4... it gives a nice integration, interrelation between video and audio... See what I mean ? but to do so, I have to be accurate on the placement of these markers.
It felt like I was in an aerobic video for a second and my thighs were hurting! Thanks Jenn. 4/4 is easy for me to catch, it's all those other times that get me.
Another tip for editing good audio in FCP is that Final Cut and Logic/Garageband (apple's proprietary DAWs) talk very well with each other and you can move your audio timeline into those programs (as well as the video!) and have a ton more control as well as access to a host of native audio plugins (and third party if you want) that FCP lacks.
Thanks for great video! I am struggling with opposite - editing the song to be longer and sound natural without changing the pace. No good advice on that in youtube!
Great tips; I'll give them a go on my next video Thanks!. BTW As a former semi-pro bass player (1965-1989), I suggest that one needs to also listen for sections (e.g., verse A then verse B, etc.), choruses, & bridges. By that, I mean -- while your song choice was pretty straightforward (e.g., 4/4 and simple structure) a more complex song would require the cut(s) not cutting into a bridge or chorus from a verse, etc accidentally. As said in Indiana Jones 3; you must choose, wisely! :0)))
for the love of god, can someone help me pls with the "4 by 4 method" because I still can't figure out how and why she decided to start marking the beat exactly here.
Cool handling of the sound, but you have to keep in mind, that not every song is allowed to be handled like this. The composer has got a right to keep the song as it is. Speeding it up and cutting it down can violate the rights of the composer or rights holder. But if it is allowed, then it is fine.

I am an early intermediate user with FCPX and your videos are right on the button for my current skillset. Thanks.
Just watched two of your videos in row and I'm blown away again, another great tutorial. You just made it so much easier again, awesome job.
OH MY GOODNESS!! You ROCK! I am BRAND new at FCP, and you made it SO easy! THANK YOU!
Priceless tips!!!
yesssssss. I add a cross dissolve always, but change the duration depending on the abruptness of the cut. Death to the fade out!
To me it depends on the cut. Sometimes, if the music is more legato than staccato you pick up the tail ends of previous notes with a cross dissolve.
Now I feel guilty about fading out at the end. Fortunately I don't have the time limitations you do. Learning about professional challenges and solutions will help make our videos better. Thanks for doing this.
Glad you liked this one Mark!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
seriously appreciate your tutorials, quality and concise, keep up the great work!
you're a real star in this, great video as always
Very clever plus it provides an organized method which will result in time saved. Thank you.

Awesome! Also, command G. Brilliant! I didn’t know you could do this. Cheers 🤙
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
That's great! You widen my horizon in this video. Thank you for sharing!
You turned me onto a couple functions that I didn’t know existed and that I have been desperately wanting. Thanks for that! Very helpful.
Thanks, this was perhaps one of the best videos on editing music for the end of a video.
Absolutely BRILLIANT !
This will save me so much time 👍🏼👍🏼
Best FCP tutorials anywhere. Thanks so much! Also great work for your clients. You clearly have tremendous talent and knowledge.
wow i love this.. thank you so much!
Awesome I learned something today :-) and you gained a new subscriber
Learned something new. I didn't know you could change the speed of music. Will be using this!
another great tutorial Jenn. Thanks so much!
Brilliant tip and demonstration of the process Jenn! Thank you! ⭐️👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
nice tutorial ... thanks for sharing your knowledge

Jenn, what an amazing trick that is!! I will definitely be using this trick in my future videos. Thank you!
1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4 Loved it!
Hey, thanks for the tip. I watched it twice! 👍
Awesome, thanks... I was a habitual fader, but I've seen the light and I'm a changed person. :)

Oh yes. If you're editing docs you prob wish your music cuts were longer!
This is BRILLIANT… just so frustrating that I didn’t see it ‘before’ I made my last video 😩😂
Thank you!!
you are the best!
WOW,... excellent job. Subscribed.

Lol, maybe I should have been multitasking by doing squats at the same time 🤔

Great tip!
I've used Garageband to make short beat tracks for transitions. It definitely makes things interesting. Great tip!
I will be using this.
Let me know how it goes!
Going to have to watch this a few more times to get all of this down, but love it
You'll get it for sure. It's not hard once you figure it out.
such a pro
Thanks for this. Is there a way to save the music tack with the beat markers to use in other projects?
thx you )
Such a great tip! Thanks for this ❤
Genius intelligence
Thank you, very helpfull
You're welcome!
well done

Thank you!!!🎉very interesting and helpful
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
When using the trim tool to find a better part of a clip, how do you make it so the automation doesn't move? Been trying to figure it out and I can't!
my question is : why you so smart ? 🥰 thank you .....for tutorial
for the love of god, can someone help me pls with the "4 by 4 method" because I still can't figure out how and why she decided to start marking the beat exactly here.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Fast like & comment
You're speedy!
l too complicated i continue doing it the other way why making it so complicated no thbaks
Might just be easier for me to call the composer and ask them to write a 30 second song..........
Thanks for the video
You're clients must have really big budgets 😉 Hook a sister up.

Great if you made the music yourself. However, cutting someone else’s music indiscriminately isn’t ok.
